I arrived in Yokohama just in time for cherry blossom season. It’s been raining all weekend, but I still managed to get some cool photos. There’s so much color wherever you look.

Cherry blossom season in Japan, also known as "Sakura" season, is a magical time of the year when the country is blanketed in a sea of pink and white flowers. People gather under the blooming trees to enjoy picnics, parties, and contemplation. It's a celebration of spring, renewal, and the beauty of nature that is cherished by locals and visitors alike.

There’s nothing like a leisurely ride on the water, and with such stunning island views, how can you go wrong?

With a rich history and diverse culture, Vietnam is a place like no other. Through numerous invasions and colonization, Vietnam has emerged with its own identity, and I think it’s pretty cool 😎

Legend has it the gods sent a family of dragons to defend Vietnam’s coast from invaders. They spat jewels and jade, which grew into the towering, green pillars you see today. The invaders crashed into these emerging islands, and Vietnam was saved. The bay was named Ha Long (“dragon descending”) after the famous legend.
